Story
"What begins to matter more is the ability to place [facts] in context and to deliver them with emotional impact." . . . To paraphrase E.M . Forster, a fact is "The queen dies and the king died." A story is "The queen died and the king died of a broken heart." (Pink, 103)
Symphony
" . . . the capacity to synthesize rather than analyze; top see relationships between seemingly unrelated fields; to detect braod patterns rather than to deliver specific answer; to invent something new by combining elements nobody else thought to pair." (130)
Empathy
" . . . a stunning act of derring-do, the ultimate virtual reality--climbing into another's mind to experience the world from that person's perspective." (159)
Play
"People rarely succeed at anything unless they are having fun doing it." (187)
Meaning
"We live in an era of abundance, with standards of living unmatched in the history of the wolrd. Freed from the struggle for survival, we have the luxury of devoting more of our lives to the search for meaning." (218)
